Dear Colleagues,<br><br>the SIAM CSE13 conference will be held next year in Boston, and this is a conference that is well suited for much of the type of work that goes on in the open source scientific Python development community (and Julia). The conference is co-chaired by Hans-Petter Langtangen, well known around these parts for his several books on scientific computing with Python and for having led a campus-wide adoption of Python as the core computational foundation across the University of Oslo. I am also on the program committee, as well as Randy LeVeque and other Python-friendly folks.<br>

<br>An excellent way to participate is to organize a one- or two-part minisymposium on a specific topic with a group of related speakers (instructions at <a href="http://www.siam.org/meetings/cse13/submissions.php">http://www.siam.org/meetings/cse13/submissions.php</a>).<br>

<br>Please note that the MS deadline is fast approaching: August 13, 2012.<br><br>If you have any further questions, don&#39;t hesitate to contact me or one of the other organizers if you feel they can address your concerns more directly:<br>
